obtaining an Amateur Radio License? Well here is your starting point. On this page

test. If you need information concerning clubs in your area, and are unsure how to
contact them, I have a very simple method for you to try. Look in the yellow
pages and find your nearest Radio Shack or Two-way communications company. When you
call, ask the person that answers if they have a Ham operator working there, most do. The
should be able to help you get started with a name and telephone number to a club in your
area. Many clubs offer either classes or testing.

America's Quiet
Warriors
America's quiet warriors are the legion of ham radio operators, 700,000 of them,
who are always at ready for backup duty in emergencies – amateur, unpaid,
uncelebrated, civilian radio operators, during and after floods and fires and tornadoes.
After the 9/11 attacks, hams were indispensable in reuniting friends and families. Most
recently it was they who expedited the search for debris after the disaster to the space shuttle Columbia, and right now, at this moment,
they are involved in homeland security to a greater degree than you would want me to make
public. — Paul Harvey News and Comment, ABC Radio, March 19, 2003 |
